In 2010, 11 injured war veterans and 10 Everest climbers tackled a Himalayan giant. A film crew followed every step of the journey.
The nationwide release of High Ground, the documentary film profiling the No Barriers "Soldiers to Summits" journey is coming Nov. 2. If you're in Colorado, join No Barriers at its High Ground screening in Golden, Colo., at the American Mountaineering Museum.
From the release:
"With Academy Award-nominated producer Don Hahn and award-winning director Michael Brown, this film tells the story of 11 wounded veterans whose road to recovery takes them to one of the guardians of Everest—the 20,075-foot Himalayan peak known as Lobuche.
One veteran is blind, three have lost limbs, and all 11 suffer from the mental and emotional ravages of war. Blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer and his history-making team of Everest climbers led by Jeff Evans guide the soldiers. Together they take on a formidable mountain challenge, all in the name of celebrating the return of our nation's heroes."
High Ground will be available on DVD and streaming video in November.
